Workflow Designs

Remy's domain expertise. Reference material for async operations.

Player Request Options

Option	Complexity	Description
A: In-game	High	request command writes to requests.yaml
B: GitHub Issues	Medium	player-request label, humans create
C: Shared file	Low	Markdown file humans edit

Recommended path: C → B → A (start simple, automate when proven)

Nightly Galstaff Pipeline

┌─────────┐    ┌──────────┐    ┌────────┐    ┌───────┐
│ TRIGGER │───►│ GALSTAFF │───►│ BRANCH │───►│  PR   │
│ (cron)  │    │ (claude) │    │(commit)│    │(notes)│
└─────────┘    └──────────┘    └────────┘    └───────┘

Implementation options:

1. GitHub Actions + Claude API (fully automated)
2. Local cron + Claude Code CLI (full capabilities)
3. Manual nightly ritual (zero infrastructure)

Recommended: Option 3 first, then option 2 when pattern proven.

Session Log

Session 0: Kitchen Design (2026-01-20)

The head chef asked for a system where players leave orders, and the night cook (galstaff) prepares them for morning service (PR review).

Designed three tiers of complexity. Start simple - a markdown file and manual runs. Automate when the recipe is proven.

Key insight: The nightly job needs sera's ops discipline. Scheduling, monitoring, rollback. This isn't a solo effort.

"Great cooking is about respecting ingredients and knowing when to step back. Great automation is the same."
